E-books will knock this off, or Google will with their scanning everybody in existence. It is just one more way to kill local economies and libraries, yes I work for an independent bookshop and yes this crap pisses me off.Jasonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03459745696549444634noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1219106691444162656.post-49745118253951743232009-01-29T13:17:00.000-06:002009-01-29T13:17:00.000-06:00I think this would work for me.

I can't get a normal Library membership, since I live in an unincorporated part of town, thus no library taxes.<BR/><BR/>It sucks though, I would gladly rent movies from the lieberry. I am too cheap to pay $240 yearly fee to get to Cook county libraries.Some dude stuck in the Midwesthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00852056495927941030noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1219106691444162656.post-60764253192679055002009-01-29T12:36:00.000-06:002009-01-29T12:36:00.000-06:00I suppose this only points out my own laziness, bu...I suppose this only points out my own laziness, but I almost never visit the library. It's no less convenient than the book store I frequent (although slightly in the opposite direction), but I just never think of it.<BR/><BR/>This is all even weirder when I consider that my father has always had a backlog of library books in the house and makes frequent trips to swap them out.<BR/><BR/>Personally, I think this whole concept is something I might like.Nathanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00648438549121320566noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1219106691444162656.post-32384429604475112702009-01-29T11:43:00.000-06:002009-01-29T11:43:00.000-06:00And she sure doesn't mind when I bring a book or w...And she sure doesn't mind when I bring a book or whatever home from the library for her.mattwhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07934926340973044413noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1219106691444162656.post-25408654689103604412009-01-29T11:37:00.000-06:002009-01-29T11:37:00.000-06:00Matt, there are worse things to be than a "library...Matt, there are worse things to be than a "library whore."<BR/><BR/>We loves the libraries, yes we do, precious.Janiecehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14190655869710465713noreply@blogger.com
